I can give you answers for 3 and 4 lol
3) I wish i had known that feeding outside the enclosure has no benefit and can actually make the snake go off food, despite being recommended by many sources. Oh, i wish i had known that there are far better substrates than aspen for a ball python, that you really really need a thermostat, and last i wish i had known how much of a pain is to keep humidity high enough in an aquarium with a screen lid and aspen
4) I honestly look at my feeders (insects and rodents) as just food. Meaning, i think of the rats exactly what i think about the meat in my fridge (they happen to be next to each other lol) its food, doesnt matter if its for me or the snakes or my other animals. I love rodents and ive had guinea pigs before but bottom line is, i have two snakes now and i want to keep them healthy with a proper diet. What makes me "feel better" after seing a little dead rat being swallowed is that a little living snake is getting fat and full lol
Welcome btw! Im still a noob myself, ask any "dumb questions" whenever you want, heck, i still ask them every now and then 😂😂 people here are extremely helpful, and please post some pics of your little bp when you get him/her
